Old Hyde Park Historic Dist

Although two groups now exist. Only one is legitimate. The president is Marty Phillips. The other is simply a small group of embarrassing, malcontented trouble makers Marty tried his best to work with them but they just want power and control. PLEASE contact Marty if you have any questions or concerns. His contact info is listed on our website. Also, the information on this site is outdated. \r \r Thank You. Pros: The BEST leadership more

Both groups have their good points from what I hear but it will be interesting to see which group grows and which one dies off. Those who are in the old association have the advantage of inheriting a long, successful track record that John Gladeau, love him or hate him, created. While the new group has the Stackhaus name and Mark Esping's political clout. The big liability factor for both associations would seem to be their current leaders who are both well known in the area for being pushy, unreasonable and hot headed. The best thing for Old Hyde Park would be for them put their personal agendas aside and learn to work together like they once did or at least clarify their objectives so the neighborhood will know who stands for what. Pros: two to choose from Cons: They can't be cohesive, which hurts the sense of community more

Its nice to know that the people getting off the board really did nothing for the neighborhood. They found out it is much harder to be a board member than just having social parties. They were never there representing me as a neighbor. Pros: New People will make a difference Cons: the leadership was never there more
